so far today I’ve done all the washing, designed and printed IMMENSELY satisfying just right fitting compartment boxes for my toolbox for bits and bobs, run the first lot of distillate and done a 10 walk. Very niiiice
I need to give my manager a daily summary of the things I’ve worked on everyday. Things are a little light on today so this time will be an exercise in creative writing
Currently injured (from my stupid self inflicted toe thing last week) so not getting out, but I will keep this on hand I think…
The man and I have decided to go see Deadpool & Wolverine tomorrow.
17 year old me would be happy in the back row. 27 year old me would’ve fallen asleep. 47 year old me just wants to get my monies worth.
yeah this is why I go gold class for this sort of thing. Had Infinity war ruined by kids screaming and carrying on so now if its worth going to the cinemas (and to be clear not much is) I go gold class.
I made a snap decision to go see it today. My session starts at 12:30.
As a 49yo who has been comic book reader/collector since i was 16 I want fun, fan service & clear dialogue (I think my hearing is going).
Have fun tomorrow.
I’m watching Fantasmas and this is the most bonkers thing I’ve watched all year.
rambling
Despite wanting to have nothing to do with the modern world at times this feels like the most cathartic TV series ever. Like someone compressed all my millennial stray thoughts and anxieties and imagination and feelings into an insane fever dream of interwoven comedy sketches. There is really nothing like this out there at the moment.
It’s the writer of SNL’s most famous sketches like Papyrus and Wells for Boys doing an entire season of wack which is like a dream come true (okay, I see he’s done another TV show that I have to track down).
I’m glad TV like this gets made; and I’m glad it isn’t as insular and navel-gazing and obnoxiously value-signalling as I feared it might be. There’s an endearing, lovable heart behind the turbocharged surreal/ironic humour.
Worth a watch if you feel like it’s time for something completely different… and want to process life a little differently.
PS Bibo is my favourite character. angrysound.mp3
Cool. This is definitely on my watch list. 👍😎
I have a feeling you might hate it hahaha. But it’s a fairly quick and breezy watch
I’ve watched two episodes already.
It’s awesome. 🙂 It’s just like living in new york 😹
Spring has truly sprung when my elderly neighbour is out watering his lawn daily again.
Rest assured Melbourne weather will whiplash and smack you with a cold freezing change. Shit Melbourne weather can often go right on till December.
Once spring hits, he’ll water his lawn while it’s raining. Nothing can stop him.
Mine’s still soaked. How the F can it need watering?!
It doesn’t need watering. He just waters it.
A friend brought me some xs men’s trackies that were on clearance. They are a bit big but they fit more comfortably than the women’s /shrug
Melbcat has been refusing her wet food for a few days (still eating treats and biccies). I’m going to have to give her meds directly and then feed the wet food after. Also a bit worried about her breathing and might have to return to the twice daily puffer.
It feels way too early for hayfever to set in but seems it has
I’m not overly fond of the colours women’s trackies come out in, they tend to be weird seasonally trendy colours which I don’t like, whereas in the men’s section it’s all black, grey, navy, khaki. Much more practical.
Yeah, I prefer the more classic colours
Ooh, today is new bank card day. They sent it with priority, so that’s nice.
What’s not nice is this new design. Previously I had a nice white one, with tasteful colour splashed around, and the numbers and my name hard pressed into it, but they’ve changed to an obnoxious yellow front, with nothing on it except a chip and a logo, then the back has all of my info on it. And it’s not pressed into the card anymore, it’s just written on, like a Myki card :(
Commbank? I’m with a subsidiary and my new card was the same :( what happened to embossed text after decades of it
what happened to embossed text after decades of it
It got enshittified. :(
No longer using those roller arrangements to process a transaction, so the raised text is not required. Chip does all that now.
But they stopped using that ages ago, I thought it was all about the lovely tactile feeling and being able to differentiate your credit card from all the other cards…
There’s different cut outs on the narrow end for different types of cards. Half moons, triangles etc. Can’t think what as I don’t actually have a credit card as such. My eftpos card has a half moon.
Yeah, it’s a travesty :/
My UBank card is similar, but they still made it look nice. This CommBank one looks like someone told a 4 year old to redesign it for a cuppa chup. Also it’s vertical. Why would I want a vertical card. It’s not fucking tickrock
Yeah the new CommBank cards are not it. They look tacky imo
Edit: just read on about the chip thing maybe being behind lack of embossing. Makes sense
100%. They look horrible
I made chicken burritos for dinner. 🌶️🌶️🌶️😵💫 it was delicious
I made speghetti bolognaise.
I cooked probably more pasta than I needed but I’m stuffed!
not possible to cook too much, just put left overs in fridge or freezer 👍
Oh I ate it all 😃
🥇
Went to Soi 38 for the first time after work. It’s a Thai restaurant in a parking garage that’s been around for ever and is super popular. I feel like I got punched in the face with flavour … so sour, salty and spicy. So delicious.
Hayfever or some kind of communal disease? Hmm I guess I’ll find out tomorrow.
I’ve been getting an itchy nose and Melbcat has been sneezing and heavy breathing. (We might start up again on her puffer.)
I think hayfever is hitting already :/
Temu order update: Package arrived. Shoes were ungrated. However the grater was not great. It was very flimsy, bent out of shape and has been refunded.
If the grater was great the shoes would have been grated. 🫤
So I got sent a link to view the ct scans of my face, from the radiology department.
I have never seen the inside of my face before, it’s super wild! I can scroll up and down through the ‘slides’ and like, move back and forth and up and down these scans of my head.
I feel a tad ick, all the nerves in my face are tingling now that I’m aware 👀 but it’s also really cool!
It also confirms what I have long suspected, that my skull is quite empty and cavernous.
Yeah nup, dont like to be reminded I’m made of flesh and calcium.
It is extremely unsettling, because we shouldn’t normally have that view. But from a science lover perspective, it’s really cool!!
Test is negative! 🪩💃🏼 And I can taste more things! I didn’t realise until I bought some mixed donuts for the Minipeelers and Elder asked what the yellow ones were and I took a bite and said, “pineapple” lol. Spent most of the day cleaning in the lounge room, which hasn’t had a decent clean in a while. Four long haired people in a place really take it’s toll in terms of fluffage in the carpet and upholstery. Now I’m going to make some schnitzels and maybe a quick curry. I’m back baby 👉🏼😎👉🏼
Fantastisch!!
All hail the return of the Queen! 👑🙌
In an effort to lift my mood I’m looking at visiting my aunty in WA over the AFL PH given that she has her birthday that week too. Flights are never cheap, but they’re less gross than usual atm… I haven’t seen her in quite a while and I’ve got just enough leave to make it work. Could do with a bit of mutual TLC.
